2017 Region 3 Soils Competition

In early October the GIS Center was asked to produce detailed site maps for the 2017 Soils Competition in Jefferson County hosted by UW-Whitewater. These maps utilized the latest high-resolution LIDAR-based elevation models from Jefferson County which helped students better assess the types of soils at their dig sites and determine the soils’ origins.

This is an example of one of the DEM maps that were created for the competition.
